I got a message from CDJ confirming my approval of the new shipping price and saying it would be in shipping process tomorrow and they'd send a shipment confirmation once that happened. I hope that other CDJ orders from people here also get shipped as well.. Seems there is evidence there might be some scarcity.
-
Might be because I ordered EMS.. the first estimate for SAL or what have you may have been correct if you did that.
-
Yeah no official shipping notice, but my order status says in shipping process now since that shipping charge update. Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll see something (I know it is Monday there already, but still.. I can dream).

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Master Dex replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yeah Galaxy essentially developed the VF-27 illegally in both versions of the show. -
Well I shelled out for EMS so my shipping is 5200 yen. Not ideal but I won't have to wait I guess.
-
I only got the email about the new shipping charge and that once they got my approval it'd begin the shipping process. I have not received a shipping confirmation yet, but I expect it soon.
-
Just got an email from CDJ saying my order is entering shipping phase. They need me to approve the updated shipping charge though. It was roughly 2000 yen more I think, I didn't calculate it exactly, I knew I'd still pay it. Anyway, watch out for that fellow CDJ buyers. Looks like it's finally happening. EDIT: I just checked, they asked for an extra 1500 yen for shipping than the original estimate. They say it is due to new info on package weight but I also changed shipping address so that might affect it.
-
Thanks for the heads up, I hope to hear news this weekend now.
-
Well that is certainly curious. I only have one 31A on order at CDJ but like Spanner and Mommar I have not seen any movement on it. It is strange only one person here seems to have had that happen yet the company claims it simply doesn't have them yet. Is it possible they are mistaken as to the company as mcfly was? Not that it matters in the long run I suppose. I just hope we get them before April lol.
-
For what it is worth for other CDJ people, I also ordered mine from CDJ and am waiting. I've been less concerned cause I've spent this whole week moving (I have the order set to ship to the new address already), so I've had a lot to distract me. CDJ never explicitly said it's ship on the 15th though... maybe it is like NY and going out on the 24th? I guess we'll only know when we know. I get the feeling that one person who said they got a CDJ shipping notice (only one person out of many who haven't) may have been wrong somehow, but no way to be sure unless they speak up again. Either way, it's a waiting game.
-
No, and it's pretty much an impossibility due to the usual culprits that keep most of Macross out of America. (Not for nothing, but even if HG wanted to do it, which 20 years later there is no reason they'd bother now, licensing all the music could be a nightmare of expenses)
-
Noobish question probably, but I know some people have done a little bit of translating of First in it's original form but never getting all of it before this refresh. Any idea if anyone is going to try to do that again now (or even if the dialogue is unchanged enough that older scanlations could be adapted)? I just want more than a picture book out of it I guess, lol.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Master Dex replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
That is what surprises you? That's not even... well.. all that new. This isn't exactly a show for little kids. Besides didn't JUNNA write that song? I think I heard somewhere that was the case. -
A lot simpler than I expected... so we sorta have a version of it today.. but that method of creation seems pretty hard to do on mass scales.. at least not cheaply.. so probably Overtechnology made it easier to make in large amounts in universe. Still, pretty neat.
-
Though ECA is definitely a mystery I'd also like to see answered, I also generally just want to know what exactly hypercarbon is. Is it a natural variation of carbon, does it get created. It's it just denser carbon structures (like a form of diamond armor) or something else? I don't suspect there is a full answer yet somehow.
-
I'll have to wait to get hands on with my 31A since I'm moving right when it ships, but at least I have something to look forward to after my ~2300 mile road trip.
-
Glad I changed my shipping address then. I am leaving my current address on the 16th, lol.

Macross Δ (Delta) Movie Gekijō no Walkūre (Passionate Walkure)
Master Dex replied to no3Ljm's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yeah I'll give you that, average person probably would cite shows like that. My circles have been far more prone to know more lately so I might be biased. I tackled the question more from the perspective of creaters probably the average joe viewers in the States. The distinction is noteworthy. -
Macross Δ (Delta) Movie Gekijō no Walkūre (Passionate Walkure)
Master Dex replied to no3Ljm's topic in Movies and TV Series
No... it's pretty popular now... what you said was true... in the early 2000s, lol. Right now US has streaming services like Crunchyroll and Funimation have opened up America to a ton of anime, including subbed shows that never get dubbed. When I was a kid, it was pretty much like Seto described, the 90s were when it became a bigger thing in America.. but now... Anime is a well known genre here to the point some western animation has started to adopt animesque styles and storytelling tropes. -
New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Master Dex replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
To an Engineer? I dunno... I'd bet it is... but maybe in a different way. Us types then to have a more functional view of it.. but that's my take. -
I'm marking the page I'm posting on as 303. Tomorrow morning I'll log in to see it at 330 probably.. that's how fast this thread goes each pre-order day, lol. I won't be partaking this time. My 31F, 262, and incoming 31A are good for me. I don't have the funds all you do, lol. I didn't even get super parts for Messer or the missile packs for the Draken. Too costly for what it was given, even if the sword is nice. However.. we'll see how thinks look when supers are announced for the Kairos... maybe. I doubt I'll go in for any armor packs though... design messes up the look for me. Anyway, have fun tonight kids.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Master Dex replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Quoted for truth. Even Basara, who is admittedly pretty much an a-hole, is well developed in his own way. I mean, only he would have the unmitigated gall to actually use something like Speaker Pod Gamma to a command ship like that... twice. Seto reminded me both how funny it is that never gets repaired but also that while Chlore has a more appropriate reaction... she also goes from mad to fangirling over Basara quicker than it takes him to finish Tostugeki Love Heart so... YMMV, lol. -
Good God that just looks beautiful. The best part is the more modern realistic gun metal gray being used instead of the traditional Macross beige for the cannon fodder units. Having worked on real aircraft painted more like this it just makes this feel more real.
-
Well they allow me to make changes to the shipping address before it ships, so changing it to where I'm going is not a problem (I'm currently going someone that already has people there so it is not like I have no destination address yet). My question was more about should I go ahead and do that even if I don't know when this will actually ship in March. It'd be easier to get it and pack it if it shipped before I left but that might not happen. It sounds like I should probably just do it.
-
Well the problem there is I am moving due to being in between jobs at the moment... and I am moving to a different state as well.
